Diabetes At A Glance
If you think: Diabetes at a glance – grandma’s knew one way to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes was to lose weight. Five percent of the population of the USA suffers from diabetes and it continues to rise every year. Statistics tell us that diabetes is not just an annoyance, it’s the third largest killer of Americans. Were you startled to find out that some contestants on the TV show Biggest Loser suffered from diabetes at the beginning and ingested medication? Later on as they progressed with vigorous exercise, proper eating – shedding pounds in the process – some were able to get off the diabetes medication and feel better.
Okay, all that TV stuff is great news and the motivation to win bags of money probably topped the list for all the contestants, but what about the rest of men and women who want to add years to their lives and can’t afford a paid trainer to hold their hands and put them on the right track. Well, there are some things you can do to help yourself – perhaps even get off medication or other drugs – and not spend a lot of money.
Many diabetics might be wise to research some natural cures and relief from diabetes that is as close as the kitchen, refrigerator, or front yard of their home. Diabetes can be controlled by regulating blood sugar levels. But caution should always be first and foremost. Diabetes in any form is a very serious disease and any foreign experimentation should be handled with care. Forward thinking doctors should be consulted first.
Diabetes at a glance options may seem strange to you at first. Pumpkin is one food that contains two diabetic miracles. Think: pumpkin pie. Yep, that orange-colored dish that comes around on Thanksgiving works to lower blood sugar and gives your body some natural insulin. Cloves and cinnamon will also do the trick. If you like tea and are insulin resistant, a vinegar drink with water and sweetened with saccharine can improve insulin sensitivity up to 40 percent. Another tea drink with a weird name: Fenugreek is an herb that has been shown to lower blood glucose and insulin levels as much as 43 percent. It’s a tea that doesn’t taste bad and also calms the nerves and upset tummies.
Chromium is helpful in many types of diabetes because it helps insulin do a better job in your body allowing more glucose into the cells to manage diabetes. In various studies it was found that many diabetics are deficient in zinc which is essential in keeping the immune system stronger.
Recently I wrote a published health article about dandelions which is a weed that carries some potent health benefits for diabetics. Drinking two ounces of the root simmered in boiling water several times a day works.
Or, roast the roots, grind them, then brew like you would coffee is another way to do it.
